Prehistoric Relics

An Illustrated Catalogue Describing Some Eight Hundred and Fifty Different Specimens

by Warren King Moorehead

Excerpt

Nearly all of the 7500 collectors of archaeological speci mens have at some time or other. Wished for an inexpensive, and yet complete, illustrated catalogue. Books we have had in numbers, but they are all expensive, or they cover explorations only. Therefore, there are objections to most of them.

Recognizing the call for a collector's book — one that should be' for laymen and not for experts — we have compiled the present book, Prehistoric Relics. It will be observed that we have quoted largely from standard authorities. In foot notes we have referred to more than one hundred books, pamphlets and articles upon archaeologic Subjects; and students, therefore, will have no trouble in pursuing further reading.
